Friday, June 20, 2014

It is the last few hours of spring so get out and enjoy the day. I think that every Friday between June and August should be at a minimum of a half-day and getting the whole day off would be even better. I think this is because so many offices do that type of thing and people go on vacations and it sucks to be the only one in the office. Anyway, I will be here all weekend so, come on by and say hello. If you would like to follow me on Twitter, I am @entylawyer

For those of you who have been reading a long time, you probably remember the blinds about Vixen. For those of you who never read about her, you can click on the label at the bottom and relive the blinds. Vixen, has popped up now and again, but not for many years. A few weeks ago we crossed paths and had a few hours to catch up and see what has been happening in her life. She is a completely different person from the time I first met her. She is healthy and fun and vibrant and I am really proud of her for all the positive changes she has made in her life.

As we sat and talked and relived the past, she told me a story about something that happened to her a long time ago and that she says is the reason she spiraled on a path that almost cost her life. Back in the day she was just starting out as an actress. She was also a model and was in her teens when she first ran into this actor who was A+ list at the time. This guy was everywhere. He wasn't really a movie star, and has rarely been in movies, but he was the king of television. He has a long and stories Hollywood past that would have crushed him if he was acting like that in the age of TMZ and paps everywhere.

They met when she read for a part. She says that producers would forward him the tapes of women who read so he could pick and choose who he could ask out or eliminate right away as not suitable, which meant he couldn't see himself having sex with the woman or he knew she would be off limits. Vixen was young. Below the age of consent, but that didn't stop our actor from inviting her to dinner and wining her and dining her and putting on the full court press. She had no chance really and the pair started having sex. He was married at the time but always seemed to have time for Vixen. When she balked at his request for a threesome he told her that she needed a little coke and that everything would be good. She had her first line then and has been battling coke addiction since. He turned her life into a drug and sex fueled party and would tell her which roles to take and which not to take. He would pass her around to his friends and threaten her if she didn't cooperate. He had her find other women who were in their teens and bring them to parties and then would have sex with them. If he liked them better than Vixen he would send her on her way for a few weeks or months until he decided he wanted her again.

Vixen was getting good roles and got one great role and that led to her biggest amount of fame. Apparently our actor got jealous and wanted her for himself again so cast her on his new show and took up right where they left off. She had kicked coke but he got her hooked again and it was even worse for her that time and she went off the deep end and got in trouble with the law and finally was at rock bottom and tried to kill herself. The people in her life who were close to her got her some help and she fled Hollywood. They convinced her, rightfully so that her life was much more important than being famous or being used by some has been Hollywood A lister.

Jumping late but my first thought was Yasmine Bleeth. She got into major trouble for coke years back and dropped away from HW. Nicole Eggbert is a good guess too but I feel like it's not her bc she's recently done reality TV.

Well yasmine bleeth was sorta easy..anyone who watched Ryan's hope, all my children and saw her career grow and disappear guessed her...I knew her but couldn't complete blind cuz I remember Richard Greico her ex being a destructive force in her life, and when things went south for her

"Griffith was married four times to three actors: Don Johnson (1975, 1989), Steven Bauer (1982) and Antonio Banderas (1996)."

Yes she and DJ were married and divorced twice.

0 for 4 narcissistic bullies every one

"Griffith began modeling and appearing in television commercials as an infant, but quickly abandoned her career as a child model due to her extreme shyness. She attended the Hollywood Professional School, where she excelled at academics, skipping a grade and graduating at the age of 16. At age 14, Griffith began dating the then-22-year-old actor Don Johnson, moving in with him later that same year. Griffith recalls explaining her decision to move in with Johnson to her parents: "I said to them, 'If I can do all of this stuff at home, if I can already drive a car, if I can get to school by myself, then why do I have to live at home?' And it made good logical sense, but it didn't make emotional sense." "

@Tina - She was a Hollywood kid, so I'm sure she was probably driving underage and Mom and Dad must have been okay with it. They let her date him and move in with him, after all. What was Tippi thinking?! I can't imagine. :-/

Sorry one thing still not working for me with don Johnson..he has multiple film nods..made quite. Few films which garnered great notices(paradise, tin cup, guilty as sin.....in which he was awesome)Not feeling it

I was just reading about Don Johnson in Pamela Des Barres book. I know it's old news but I've just gotten around to reading it. She was living with Don Johnson when he hooked up with Melanie, apparently with Tippi's blessing. She was 14 and looked and acted like she was 14.

God almighty, who lets their 14 year old daughter go live with a grown man? What the hell was wrong with tippi hendron. From Melanie's quote it looks like she was simply not involved with her daughter, emotionally or otherwise.

As to the blind, What is the age of consent here? Some states it's 18 , others sixteen right? If this was a seventeen year old, she has to take some responsibility for her life choices, if she was fifteen, then where the hell were her parents. Hence why I think she was slightly older,,,doing lines, being passed around men, being taken out for dinner in the first instance.

Of course she had a choice, enty is giving her too much of a free pass here. As an adult she repeated the same mistakes and as an adult we make our own choices, no one else is to blame or responsible, even if she was fifteen the first time.

She's a druggie and behaved as a whore in return for fame and ended up in trouble with the law and trying to kill herself. I'm sorry, with the opportunities she had, she takes some responsibility here for screwing up her life. Who ever the skeavy dude is, he takes only some of the blame and none of it at all for when she was a grown woman.

My husband's cousin was a guest star on Miami Vice. She was gorgeous back then. She said Don Johnson as an absolute creep, would not leave her alone, pestered all of the females on set, and was a jerk to everyone. She hated his guts.

I remember she was on the short-lived Titans, which was a fun, trashy, Dynasty type show. What was odd was that her nose was noticeably different than in the past. There were already coke rumors and I wondered if she'd had an operation for a deviated septum.

Browsing the Vixen archive, I found this: "I am blogging because I wanted to try it and felt I had some things I wanted to share. I have no other motive for my blog. I do not run ads and think I am about the only one who does not."No ads. Ha ha. Yep, that was a loooong time ago, all right.

I met Don Johnson when I was 12 and he is pure scum. He knew I was 12 and acted like I wasn't. Granted I looked older but that doesn't excuse him being an ass. I swear he was flirting with me and it was one of the creepiest situations I've ever been in. Mind you he was in his late 30's early 40's when I met him. Again I was 12. I've never met a more skeezy, egotistical person in my life than Don Johnson.

Wow, talk about a blast from the past...going back and reading all the old comments. I do believe it's Yasmin Bleeth. She moved to Michigan and married a strip club owner. I know the real Enty knows her and Nicole Eccbert. When Bleeth finally got charged with possession, she was shooting coke. She just had a birthday a few days ago and is now 45ish.

Melanie Griffith is "meth" so likely not "vixen" as well. Don Johnson fits for the ex in the meth blinds, esp since he was dating a 19 yo in 2006 (which he then broke up with when she was 20) Plus the age/movie history of Melanie matches. Vixen as Yasmine Bleeth would work better here.
